What bull shit. These idiots were behaving like they were on a Mumbai local train. They seem to be some uneducated rich businessmen who have enjoyed a life of buying their way out of trouble through money and power in India. Unfortunately, this time they were in a Western country where you have to follow the basic rules of aviation safety or you get into trouble like they did. They were lucky to be in the Netherlands and were let off in 48 hrs. If they had done their nonsense in Saudi Arabia they would have had their arms cut off or worse still have been beheaded.

26th aug i agree with you 100% Problem is that the TV channels started playing moral pollice role without thought out of 173 passengers comprising of some more indians, only 12 have been identified as trouble makers on an international flight and right action was taken. Even Air India would have done same even with indian aboard as pilots will not take any chances and have no way of knowing if any spy is flying under guise of indin passport holder. if you want to travel, do if you must and with utmost care and respect for the other nationals and carriers. if any law is there to penalise these 12 for disrupting a flight, bringing disrupute and wastage to national time and engagement of our officials, then that should be enforced.
